Comes by into this morning I had one of those twice per year gut feelings that a turn is coming. I had been busy (day job) and four minutes before the markets closed I purchased 10 $SPX sept 2850 puts @ 23.50.
Just now I re-logged into my account I see those same puts closed at 25.85! Options are a discounting mechanism.
This market grind down tomorrow. For how long and the extent I have no idea. A turn is at hand...

There was a typo!  I hate typos but I was typing this from my iphone!  "comes by into this morning"  Should have read "I came into this morning..."
